Welcome home Where your eyes will finally look upon hope And every captive is at long last saved A ransomed bride within her city gates Welcome home This is Jerusalem the beautiful
Hereafter you will see angels ascending and descending The son of strength takes you to the inherited kingdom of your youth Hereafter favor comes that claims Zion's remaining ones It's your reward made claim the everlasting deed of Abram's dream
Welcome home (Where every wasted place becomes) The barren heights will surge and overflow (Like Eden's garden) And from the throne issues the old vein (And living streams will again fill) With only a touch the earth reanimates (The withered ground with life) Welcome home This is Zion of the Holy One
Where every wasted place becomes Like Eden's garden And living streams will again fill The withered ground with life Like the rush of Elim's waters (You are married not forsaken) Like the rush of Elim's waters (You're sought out for you delight Him) Like the rush of Elim's waters (Jerusalem, oh, Jerusalem) Like the rush of Elim's waters (You will never weep again)
